40 Enable this to harden the device notifications and suppress
41 those that happen at a time where notifications are illegal.
42
43 Experimental: Note that several drivers still have issues that
44 may cause crashes or hangs when correct handling of
45 notifications is enforced; depending on the subset of
46 drivers and devices you use, this may or may not work.

55 help
56 This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual device
57 drivers over PCI. This requires that your VMM has appropriate PCI
58 virtio backends. Most QEMU based VMMs should support these devices
59 (like KVM or Xen).

74 Virtio PCI Card 0.9.X Draft (circa 2014) and older device support.
75
76 This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting
77 both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.
78 If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,
79 with no legacy compatibility.
80
81 So look out into your driveway. Do you have a flying car? If
82 so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
83 break. Otherwise, leave it set. Unless you're testing what
84 life will be like in The Future.

95 an appropriate vDPA device implementation that operates on a
